Not yet. I'm dreading it since they are pretty hard to reach in my car. I'll be swamped with work until the weekend, I'll do it then and post with the results.

Any other testing of sorts that anyone would recommend?

Also yesterday, I took off my Crank Angle sensors and saw that they were pretty covered in oily dirt. I cleaned them off with a dry paper towel and it sounded like my car would idle and rev a lot smoother (when it runs right), but it still after a few minutes it started to do it's failure thing. I did notice that on one of the sensors, the metal covering to it (cylinder shaped piece that goes in to the block) was able to move from side to side, as in spin a little bit. The other side was stationary. Is that okay, or a bad sensor?
